The lid is where it gets interesting — cloisonné enamel in southwestern geometric patterns, color laid into metal with the kind of patience that produces something worth keeping. It was made to hold cigarettes. It no longer needs to. The cylindrical form is clean and purposeful, the kind of container that holds whatever you decide it should — matches, small stones, a rolled note, the things that don't have another place to go.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ WHY WE CHOSE IT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the combination of brass and cloisonné enamel is one of the more striking things decorative craft produces. Because southwestern geometric patterns on a cylindrical container is a specific and unusual thing to find. Because objects that outlast their original purpose and find new ones are exactly the kind of thing worth noticing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e+ ABOUT THIS PIECE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne available.
